NFH Astragalus SAP

Astragalus is a complex combination of polysaccharides, triterpene glycosides, flavonoids, amino acids, and trace minerals. Astragalus may restore T-cell (a specific type of white blood cell) counts to relatively normal ranges in suppressed patients. Astragalus polysaccharides have also been shown to stimulate pituitary-adrenal-cortical activity and restore depleted red blood-cell formation in bone marrow. Again confirming traditional Chinese medicine, astragalus has been shown to stimulate the body's natural production of interferon and is also useful for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, common cold/sore throat, chemotherapy support, and immune function.
